Indian Refining Scenario and Global Perspective - petrofed ...

Future Direction• Intensive use of kinetic models and simulators for Prediction ofproperties and optimization of process variables. Improvingefficiency of process internals• Improving efficiency of operations/ hardware• Greater Understanding of catalysts at sub atomic level and developcost effective, more active and more selective catalyst forimproving efficiency and capacity• Application of biotechnology and NanotechnologyRefining over a period of time has changed fromphysical separation to molecular transformation,wherein catalysts play major role.
